All was up to my expectation and as usual the bar was very nice. Staff extremely helpfull and friendly.

Rob Netherlands

This hotel is an old, but very well maintained hotel at the edge of Odense's town center. For the same price as a rundown hotel in Copenhagen, we got a large room, with a large bathroom, on the top floor. Toiletries were refilled quickly, and the cleaning was done while we were enjoying breakfast. The breakfast buffet was also great.

Christoph Germany

The First Hotel Grand is located in central Odense. it is walking distance to many fabulous restaurants, great shopping and sites to see!

Klaus Denmark

Very much a classic hotel, large room and good breakfast.

Legrand United States of America

Location could not be more in the middle of the city. Excellent location!. There was free public parking not that far from the hotel. The staff was very friendly and it was a very nice hotel that even though it was kept classic it didn't feel worn out. Excellent breakfast but things ran out a bit to fast. We came 1 hour after it opened. It was not very crowded and the staff was very helpful and friendly.

David Denmark

The breakfast was very good. Almost the best we have eaten.
